After joining the VHLM, James Pearson struggled immensely, With every aspect of the game. He was making turnovers, bad plays, throwing hits at the wrong times, and taking bad penalties, and to top all of it he couldn’t score. He went on a 19 game Pointless streak. Since the trade deadline his play has steadily improved. His defensive game has sharpened, and he’s finding the score sheet more often. His improved play he credits to his hard work training as well as the coaches in Vegas, who have helped develop the young forward. Pearson has been seen skating after hours and working on defensive drills with trainers, trying to help drag Vegas into the playoffs this season after a bit of a disappointing season. When asked about how he has seen his performance so far, Pearson had this to say “It’s been a learning year, a lot of ups and downs, alot more downs than ups, but that’s what alot of this league is when you’re getting started” Hopefully we see a consistent performance game in and game out from Pearson, and it replicates itself on the Scoresheet.

James Pearson Smashed his stick into pieces as he exited twords the locker room with his teammates, after spending the entirety of overtime riding the pine. He was only played 11 minutes and 46 seconds in the game, and his frustration of being benched seems to have boiled over. Pearson’s season has been unproductive so far, with only 11 points in 52 points to show hasn’t exactly helped his case, but with Vegas sliding down the standings, you have to wonder if coaches will consider changing things up. Media was in the locker room with Vegas players after the game but Pearson was deemed unavailable. He was seen angrily tossing his equipment in his bag before heading upstairs to the press box, presumably to talk to team managers about his frustrations, Vegas will hope to get back to their winning ways as the team prepares for their next game.

I joined this site back in 2019, I was working at a Tech Store for minimum wage, Drinking Heavily and partying hard. When I wasn’t spending my free time doing one of those 3 I was at home with the girlfriend trying to keep myself entertained, I ended up finding this site. I don’t exactly remember how but as someone who briefly studied journalism in High school and was a big hockey buff it seemed like a natural fit. I started off with Alex Pearson, my most successful player to date. He Joined the San Diego Marlins under the GMing of InstantRockstar and was a slow starter, but really took off the next year in Philly on a stacked team, that got bounced in the playoffs. I was then drafted to Helsinki but ultimately picked up in the expansion draft for the Prague Phantoms! Prague was fun, I was a few friends and had a nice career with 350 Points in 504 Games. After Pearson I ended up creating Ryan Ryker, a speedy right wing who played for Houston and Miami, he ended up playing in Seattle, but I ended up going Inactive due to work and life stressing me out, and after that is when things went sideways. I had a roommate at the time who I managed to get into the site so I could get some recruiting TPE, he used the account sparingly for his first player, but lost interest during his second, which were both goalies, Colin Conklin, and Toppi Aittokallio. After that he told me he wouldn’t be using his account anymore, so I took the password and recreated a player. I wasn’t aware what I was doing was actively breaking VHL rules but I knew it probably wasn’t smart, I was just Bored and in a bad state mentally. Eventually everything came to a head and I was found out, given a slap on the wrist (Thankfully) and allowed to continue with my player’s career. But the embarrassment of being caught doing something so stupid stung, and I backed away from the VHL for a while. I tried to come back number out times but was never able to stick to it. Ended up creating 7 players in a few months time in a desperate attempt to regain my interest, but it failed. Resulting in numerous players never doing anything, and wasting valuable carryover TPE. After forgetting about this place for a while and getting life back on track and finding out I’m having a daughter, I ended up finding an old Graphic I never posted, and it resparked my interest! I’m now on player 9 with the lore of Alex Pearson’s Son James trying to continue the family legacy and I’m really enjoying it, If I had more free time I would definitely be doing more point tasks but such is the life of an adult, I’m pumped to see where James will end his playing career. Already did welfare this week so will be closing this Next week, ending November 17th

James Pearson was exiting the Las Vegas Training Facility Halloween Night when he discovered his car had been TP’d! He was frustrated but laughed it off as it was something he’d done at a younger age as well. He cleared his car off unlocked the door, he realized someone has sprayed skunk spray inside the interior of his car after he left his driver side window slightly down. He let out a frustrated curse scream then rolled all the windows down and drove home, only pulling over to vomit twice. Once he got back to his apartment he realized the door has been painted Pink and covered with glitter, and his lock has been picked. He walked inside and discovered someone had left giant Asian hissing beetles all over his apartment. After fleeing and calling an exterminator he ended up staying at Mad Villan’s House, and they watched terrible Halloween movie remakes to cheer him up. Him and Police are still looking for the culprit of these extremely cruel Halloween Pranks. The Motive is unknown, but perhaps it’s a fan upset with Pearson’s play, Vegas is a betting city after all. But some people take things too far when it comes to the art of gambling.

Early Life James Gadget Pearson was born in Toronto, Ontario-as his father was preparing to fly to San Diego after beginning his own VHLM career, He was instantly drawn to the sport of hockey, Naturally as he was watching his father’s career take off. His father would take him to team practices, and he quickly became talented on a pair of skates and was instantly the best player on his minor hockey teams. His other interest was cooking. He loved making his family meals and preparing weekly lunches for them as well, he gained notoriety with his delicious home cooked meals as well as with his hockey skill. His youth was mostly spent in Prague where he watched his fathers games and became more and more interested in the sport, quickly winning vacations accolades at a young age, people often joked that st such a young age he was already a better player than his father. His obsession with hockey didn’t end on the ice, as he showed his passion for the sport in school projects, showcasing his knowledge of the sport, and sharing stories of his tales meeting players his dad played with. He spent most of his adolescence at school in Prague, so he’s quite fluent in Czech. After his father’s retirement the fam moved back to his fathers home town in New Brunswick, Canada and Pearson continued his hockey training and career there. He stayed in contact with several friends from Prague and vacationed there several times during the summer, as his father visited old teammates and management. Pearson also trained with VHL level training during those offseasons as the training team would help his son as a favour to his father, and it seems to have payed off. Hockey Career Pearson played for his provincial bat team starting as young as 11, bringing home 5 Gold, 4 Silver and 1 Bronze, His total stat line for those games looked like GP:42 G:35 A:27 P:62 He showed his strong upper body strength along the boards and extremely proficient skating, catching the attention of VHLM scouts at a young age who had also watched his father. He was a quiet but friendly teammate according to past players, he was more of a leader on the ice and preferred to lead by example, he wore the C on 2 occasions, both for his provincial team in 6 game tournaments. He continued his Hockey career in highschool hockey and preformed exceptionally well there as well. Wearing an A for his entire career, the teams Captain, was the coach's son. Pearson won 3 championships in his 4 year highschool career there, and set 3 records for his school as well. The records were Most Hat Tricks, Most Goals, and most power play goals. His prowess on the hockey team made him popular in highschool, but he avoided the crowds and preferred to study and stay in the schools home economics room where he could unwind and cook his own lunched and pregame meals. He was such a friendly student teachers gave him unsupervised access to the room. He made plenty of friends with his homemade ravioli dishes as well as brownies (Not the fun kind). He was a strong student in other subject as well, Scoring high 80’s and 90’s for most of his report cards, making sure his grades were always high enough to stay a member of the school’s team. He was interested in History in his senior year, and ended up winning 1st prize at a history fair at his school, and later scoring 4 goals in a rivalry game for his schools team. He spent most of his weekends at local ice rinks his dad had payed to rent so he could practice his skills more, and spent various nights throughout the week at the gym when he wasn’t doing homework. In one of the first games of his senior year Pearson took an elbow to the side of his head, causing a concussion and some whiplash to him, he ended up missing all up 13 games that year, but he returned for the playoffs and led his team to a fun championship before graduating. After graduating he spent most of the summer training, preparing for the upcoming VHLM season, but he also spent weekends working at his local diner, wiping tables and sweeping floors and getting a taste for the real world as well. Saving every penny he made so he could afford some shopping while living in the luxury city of Las Vegas. Starting his VHLM career Pearson was in involved in some minor scandal but it was quickly resolved, but one has to wonder if it has affected his on ice performance, as Pearson has struggled all season long on a Vegas team that could definitely use some higher production numbers.

James Pearson has had and up down season so far, With 2 goals and a single assist in 12 games so far, he has struggled to find the scoresheet. His defensive game has improved under Vegas management and he’s been using his strong frame to outmuscle opponents, it’s just a matter of finding the back of the net. He has had a hard time finding an identity, switching between being a big body along the boards, a strong net front presence, or a shifty sniper. Coaches have put him in all opportunities but he’s struggling in every one. Pearson has had some highs, his biggest being a shootout winner in which he electrified the home crowd. Since then his game has taken a dive. We’ll see if the extra training he’s been putting in will pay off, or if his rookie season will be marred with bumps along the way.

1.Everyones goal should be the cup, but a strong playoff run should make people happy. 2.Training hard and partying harder. Now that the season has started he’s all about the game now. 3. Probably the Marlins, that was my first players first team so it’s fun to watch. 4.Practice Facility! Jk, I enjoy writing the articles but would do media spots if I had more time. 5. A Mazda hatchback wagon, Lots of room to keep hockey equipment and sticks in the back. 6. Usually hockey players love Italian so that’s usually the go to, Sandwhich shops are good for a quick lunch though

Shortly after landing in Las Vegas, James Pearson spent some time with family, but after a few days getting to know the city he decided to go out partying with some new friends. After a wild night that included Strip Clubs, Poker games and underage Bar Hopping, James ended up extremely inebriated and somehow found his way into the Koala Exhibit at the Vegas Zoo. Pearson was found in his underwear cuddling an elderly Koala who Declined reporter’s request for comment. Pearson was released at the Vegas Police Headquarters after any potential charges were dropped. Shortly after this incident the young Vegas winger was seen being berated by his father, former VHL player Alex Pearson, who is best known for being one of the original Prague Phantoms in their inaugural season. James spent the rest of the offseason training hard with Vegas staff, making sure not to get caught up in the flashy Vegas lights. With the first two games of the season coming underway this week, Pearson has looked strong on his teams top line, Contributing his first VHLM career goal, and providing a strong physical presence with 5 Hits. He’s also a +4, showing he can contribute at both ends of the ice and be a valuable teammate. After his rocky start to living in Vegas, Pearson has stayed relatively lowkey, avoiding reporters after games and spending most of his time at the team’s training center. Pearson will be an exciting addition to watch for Vegas this upcoming season.
